1. “It is alarming that roughly 2.7 billion people, constituting about one third of the global population, lack access to the Internet, representing a stark modern-day poverty and social exclusion. It is imperative to work actively to narrow the digital divides among countries and peoples, with a commitment to fostering inclusiveness and equity. Echoing the Secretary-General’s statement that the uneven suffering created by the effects of climate change ranks among the greatest injustices of this world, we underscore the urgent need for implementing the loss and damage agenda and ensuring adequate climate financing.”

2. “The Security Council has the main role to play in leveraging the potential of peacekeeping operations by scaling up missions’ peacebuilding activities from the very beginning of each mission. Fourthly, we emphasize the peace-development- humanitarian nexus of the United Nations and reiterate our call for system-wide coherence and greater synergies and coordination across the United Nations system. The role of Resident Coordinators is critical in achieving those objectives. Last but not least, we would like to mention the cross-cutting issues that undeniably affect a country’s overall development endeavours aimed at sustaining peace. Those issues include addressing the digital divide and mitigating the adverse effects of climate change.”

3. “In that regard, we refer to the joint report of the Secretary-General and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (A/HRC/54/38), which called for greater international cooperation and solidarity to increase resources and fiscal space to countries and communities. It also urged official development assistance donors to redouble efforts to meet their commitments and increase other forms of economic cooperation, such as rechannelling unused special drawing rights to benefit developing countries. Thirdly, we highlight the instrumental role of peacekeeping missions in strengthening institutions, capacity-building and creating an environment conducive to the host country’s overall development.”

4. “In that regard, we underscore the role of the Peacebuilding Commission, especially in linking development aspects with the Security Council’s agenda. Secondly, recognizing the interdependence of security and economic development is paramount. It is critical to mainstream development in all the policies of the United Nations system, while also encouraging similar supportive measures and initiatives in the Bretton Woods institutions and the World Trade Organization, where progress on addressing developmental consequences has been insufficient. In addition, international financial frameworks should move beyond traditional cost-benefit analyses and come up with innovative approaches.”

5. “The ongoing financial crisis has made the situation of many of the least developed countries and developing countries unbearable in terms of their efforts to achieve the SDGs. We need to have global solidarity and to adopt a well-coordinated response commensurate with the scale and gravity of this crisis. Let me highlight a few points with regard to the current situation. First, we need to reinvigorate the ongoing peacebuilding efforts of the United Nations and place special focus on the peacebuilding architecture. That must be coupled with a determined effort to end inequality and injustice within and among societies, dedicated investment in capacity-building and institutions and the implementation of the women and peace and security and the youth, peace and security agendas.”

6. “Peace and stability are at the core of achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. However, the multiple and interlocking crises that the world is facing today are significantly impeding the development initiatives of many developing countries, placing them at heightened risk of relapsing into conflict. It is deeply worrisome that, at the midpoint to 2030, the 2030 Agenda’s overarching objective of leaving no one behind remains elusive, with only 12 per cent of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on track and the others in jeopardy. The financing gap to achieve the SDGs has increased from the 2015 estimate of $2.5 trillion to a staggering $4.3 trillion in 2022.”

7. “I congratulate China on assuming the presidency of the Security Council for this month and thank it for organizing this open debate on the important issue of promoting sustaining peace through common development. I thank the briefers for their insightful presentations. The link between peace and development is well recognized. Peace and development are complementary to each other. Sustaining peace heavily relies on eliminating the root causes of conflict and creating a social and financial system that meets the needs of the people and reduces the risks of conflict. It is evident that, without peace and stability, we cannot think of development. In the same vein, without eradicating poverty, addressing inequality and creating decent work and gainful employment, no peace can be sustained.”
